The PLAY Project

Early intervention can make a profound difference in the life course of children with autism because their brains are developing at an incredible rate before the age of 6.
 

The PLAY (Play and Language for Autistic Youngsters) Project is a cost-effective, parent implemented, early intervention program for young children with autism spectrum disorders that has been proven to work!

PLAY Consultants coach families in the natural environment of the home to help their child improve language, development and social interaction, and

reduce autism severity.
